CBEN is devolving.

CBEN is devolving back to Beta 1 sillyness.

I see people openly whine about killstealing and itemstealing, in the middle of epoch!

I see a guy convince an entire team to sit under the PS and wait for the enemy during defense.

So many AFKers feeding. The list goes on.

1st clan tourney was moe impressive than 2nd
It actually had a bit of teamwork and skill involved
Not expecting much

People no longer can no longer manage to counter rightclick mashing lands. I even see airs do little to no damage and actually die.

It's sad when an Albatreos can stand up to 2-3 Kutens at this rate. (Ask me how this even happens at all! Also, one Patty Lop standing up to a Byne Girl + 2 Kutens + 1 Air )

Whole teams of fat arts stay at the back of the map and farm items for several minutes.

In other cases, nearly half the team derps around in the back of the map for a couple of minutes and the frontmost members get hammered trying to stop the other team from trying to get past and overrun the spawn.

In some cases I end up farming a PS and kill it for about 5-6 times unmolested.

Such is the state of the community today.

If you're referring to the 1 AM EST Defense Epoch, I thought that we did pretty well as a whole despite the lack of a large, concerted force of WIZling hunters. I've seen teams much worse than today; usually, dropping four OMGhippos on top of the PS means the defense loses the PS. We took them down while only losing 40% hp.

No healers for the PS, and ZedEX doesn't understand the benefits of keeping the enemy pinned down or roadblocking them.

I understand the fact that I am a demanding, bipolar, tempermental, yet brooding type. But I suck compared to so many other people, but from here I can affirm that so many people "haven't even begun to really struggle" in the game yet.

That, I agree is pretty stupid. If WIZ had made a more coordinated, strategized, concentrated assault on our PS, we would have lost quite handily.

As for struggling in the game...I used to be a low BR farmer. Despite what I said, it kinda really wasn't out of preference.

Don't even get me started on Wiz in Epoch. orz

In every offense match I've gone in (minus one or two), there has been absolutely no communication between team members. Say "hello" in member chat? No response. Not talkative? That's fine. Inform fellow teammates that I have HS and request WDs. No response. Match starts, so I start farming. WD drops. I request WDs. Random Lily Rain picks it up and runs off. Since I have no WD, I just let my bit charge naturally. Asking your team to group up and attack at once is completely hopeless (I try every match), so I set up HS in the most convenient spot possible then shout about it on the radio. Of course, only a handful of people actually come to grab it. Speaking of the radio... Offense radio for Wiz is almost completely comprised of "Req medic!" and "Repairing!". Face palms forever.

Here are some screens of my little bot who got fed up with this team who WOULD DID NOT ATTACK THE PS AND JUST STAYED AT SPAWN. Decided to charge at it alone with her 8 Wlk/Fly and she not only made it, but also got some shots in. Last pic is epic because it's everything I just explained in one screenshot (epilogue: little Elmy charged at the PS with all her might, but her tiny legs simply could not outrun the stupidity awesomeness (FILTERED FOR MEANNESS) of her teammates and the battle was lost before she could cross into enemy territory)

Spoiler:

I'm currently training a Shadow Hunter so that I can also utilize Tele in Epoch. My Elme and Maid are simply too slow to pull it off.

Does this mean we're gonna go evolve back to Ima Wa Muri Nano spamming soon?

Winning Epoch is more like ** 今は無理なの～! ** after all.

I haven't been to an epoch in the last two months that didn't have BRD's team derping like hell.

(Well yeah, I'm a noob at epoch too o3o)

That was more NFA's thing than anything else.

Sorry for asking, but what does NFA stand for?

edit: derp, it's No Fun allowed, screw me ;-;

Not like it was ever any good.

Only very few people Cori know are actually naisu anyway.

Considering how it annoyed the people who refused to listen to orders in Epoch, it's something I can get behind.

I don't even Epoch often anymore...but as I have no offensively-minded bots, I'm pretty much on Defense...which I like to think I've been doing pretty good at helping lately, hehe.

Funny... I thought that MOST (MOST =/= ALL) experienced people quit and all the guys I see now are mostly newbies... How else can I kill a crim with my LND? And heck, all you know what type of LND I use....

There's that, too.

Most experienced (and smart) players already quit or are quitting thanks to balance leaning towards high spenders, the insane lag CBen is delivering and the lack of trade system for old players to encourage their friends to play this. No other option except give up, suicide, abandon ship, hop to the next bandwagon or join the unstoppable wave of no-aim and no-dodge skills bots.

The good clans would show up for the tournament just to pound the terrible clans and put you-know-who clans in their place; The clans that don't deserve to place in the tourney.

On a side note, the staff abandoning CB for two weeks, even CUSTOMER SERVICES, is a shitty move to do. They're obligated to keep customer services running somehow, not just throw the entire staff on a two-week vacation.
